+# lan-play
+
+A small self-hosted web player for local video libraries.
+
+lan-play makes folders with movies, shows, and anime easy to watch on TVs and
+other devices with a web browser. Point it at a media directory, open the web
+interface, and play files without setting up a database or importing a library.
+
+## Features
+
+- Folder-based media browser with animated previews
+- Live remuxing and transcoding to browser-compatible MPEG-DASH
+- Multiple audio track selection
+- Embedded and external ASS, SSA, SRT, and WebVTT subtitles
+- Automatic subtitle discovery in nearby folders
+- Fullscreen TV-friendly interface with episode navigation
+- No database, accounts, or library indexing
+
+## Docker
+
+```bash
+docker run --rm \
+  -p 8080:8080 \
+  -v /path/to/videos:/media:ro \
+  ultradesu/lan-play:latest
+```
+
+Open `http://HOST:8080` on your TV or another device on the same network.
+
+## Run from source
+
+Requires Rust, `ffmpeg`, and `ffprobe`.
+
+```bash
+cargo run --release -- /path/to/videos
+```
+
+Use `--bind 127.0.0.1:8080` when placing lan-play behind a reverse proxy.
+
+## Notes
+
+lan-play is intended for trusted local networks. It does not provide
+authentication and should not be exposed directly to the public internet.
